Top Ten Outrageous Fair Foods

Fair season is kicking up, and with it comes the inevitable round of bizzaro foods battling it out to be the most extreme. Deep-fried Oreos? That's so mid-2000s. Reports from fairs around the country show great promise for the 2011 wacky food season. At the Alameda County Fair, in Northern California, python-on-a-stick, yak burgers, alligator sausage, and crickets are currently offered. And the California State Fair, which opens on July 14, promises to have such delicacies as raccoon-on-stick, something called "a maggot melt," and deep-fried scorpions. Yum.
